OF being passed and approved on that subject,
while Was governor, was one affecting the city
OF New York, and had precisely the contrary
efect-that Is, the purpose and object was TO re-
tain the colored schools separate and distinct
from those for the whites. Mr.. Nelson j. Water
bury, OF New York city, think, drew the bill,
and Prot. Rasin, superintendent OF colored
Schools and Rev. Mr. Derrick, both OF New York
city, advocated it strongly. The school board OF
New YORK city had determined to consolidate
their schools with the white schools, and the bill
took it out OF the control of the board, that it
Should not be done. 1t was strongly urged before
me that separate schools were or much more ben
EFT to the cOlored people than mixed schools

New York colored schools are separately main

thus given you all remember on the subject or
your inquiry. ! have been much surprised at
hearing before the receipt OF your letter that this
matter has been SO grossly misrepresented."
